Custom/Hybrid Things are getting FREAKY in Michigan!

[tightithrash]

Pics are overrated.....

T-minus 2 weeks till mine is done! Can't wait to have my freaky box show up. Then comes the crazed build thread where everything gets done in two weeks to get it running before Wavedaze! I'm really happy for you! Post pics of what you can I'm trying to anticipate issues with mine ahead of time.

I think you'll complete your build before me, at the rate I'm going. :crazy:
What are your plans?
Paint?
What turf?
Motor & driveline?

I have some paint ideas but not anything definite yet.
Turf.....sticking with good ole black diamond. I wanted to do white, but black is just so easy to keep nice and keep clean.
For now I am running my baby scream 701 with dual 44's and Jetinetics flywheel.
I have a stock pump for now, but that may change.

I'm thinking a motor build for next winter possibly.

Nice Chad!!! Its going to be killer!!! I think that will be perfect for michigan surf!!!! If you need a hand give me a call or txt. cant wait to see it. Paul

Hey Paul, give me a shout if you want to come take a peak at it.

Sorry guys....was too excited to start working on it that I didn't even bother to take pictures yet........Will work on that tonight. It pretty much looks like everybody else's so far.

Heh, I understand the excitement. :biggrin:
So what did you do to it so far?

 

[tipafew]

I spent about two hours last night cleaning up the engine compartment. Going to try to get some clear on that carbon engine bay tonight.

 

[Pablo]

pop that motherin' box up and show that biatch off.

 

[Waternut]

I thought maybe my computer wasn't loading the pictures at first since all I saw was a box. If you like the box that much that you only want to photograph it, I'll be happy to take the contents of said box off your hands. I'll even help you paint the box if you want. Let me know.... :Banane09:

I was thinking about doing that and decided against it. Too much work and it didn't look half bad to begin with.

 

[tipafew]

Yeah, my hands are all cut up today from some of the sharp carbon edges.

Here is a pic for you......it looks pretty much just like this......compliments of Matt E's build thread. Now GET OFF MY BACK

The difference between you and me Matt is that you are married with kids and I'm not. Big difference when it comes to free time.

 

[Matt_E]

Bahaha. The big question is, why are you at work?

 

[Matt_E]

You forgot grad school and having to install floors in pretty much the entire house over the last two weeks. :crazy:
It's a miracle I get anything at all done.
I am hoping to get it on the water by mid April.
What's your estimate?

Oh, and what pole are you going with?

 

[tipafew]

X metal adjustable pole +1 to -2 custom length.

Guessing it will be a few weeks. Hoping to paint in a week and a half if things go well. After that it should go together rather quickly.

 

[Buckwild12]

Damn I'm 2 1/2 weeks away and I might beat you guys to riding with the pace of these builds . I promise to have pics of my build, I might even try and set up a streaming web cam.

 

[Matt_E]

I figure I am four weeks away from a water test.

 

[tipafew]

Got some sanding and filling done yesterday. Also mounted my pole and spring. It actually worked quite well and was pretty easy to install the spring. Only one problem......the spring worked too well! It's hilarious, you let go of the pole and it shoots all the way up. Guess I need to trade my Blowsion spring for a stocker.

Hey you freaks.....question.....in the box with the bolts for the pole brackets there were two extra bolts. What are those for? There are also a lot of extra washers and I'm not really shure what they are for. I am assuming the big washers are for the back of the pole bracket bolts?

if u gotta ask...

Also trying to figure out how that battery tray is supposed to work.......

 

[Matt_E]

You need a strap with a buckle for the battery. It gets threaded underneath the tray.

Why did you go for the HUGE exhaust tube?
